JConcepts Bar Flys 60mm buggy tyres

JConcepts have a new bar-type 1/10th buggy rear tyre available, the Bar Flys. Based off of the successful Bar Code V1 the newly designed tyre offers a reduced overall tread height and a blended tread/carcass section. In-between the slotted bars, tiny Pressure Point size pins were added for increased surface area. The micro-height of the tread transitions out to the all important side-wall area where the team has maintained position of the original “Cactus” feature but have also positioned a new V-joint feature to support the lateral load of high-speed circuits. The Bar Flys are built on the 60mm bead and carcass design making them interchangeable with all 60mm/2.4″ wheel combinations. The interior ribbing features the double-hatch pattern that helps maintain a comfy ride while each set of tyres includes the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts. The tyre is available as 2WD front, 4WD front and 2WD/4WD rear variant in various compounds.
